Lia, it seems that for some people, an antihistamine taken during that pre-menstrual time can help a lot. There are the H1 types of antihistamines such as Zyrtec, Claritin, etc. Then there are the H2 types of antihistamines such as Pepcid-AC, generic name: Famotidine. For some people, the Pepcid AC helps more than the H1 types.
This is purely anecdotal, I don't have sources, and I'm not a MD or RD.
As with any over the counter medication or supplement, it's important to check in with your MD and pharmacy about possible contraindications with health issues and current prescriptions.
If you're curious about the role histamine might play in PMS, here's one article that I found, but I'm in no way endorsing the site or the author of it.
